SOUL DOG RESCUE

What SOUL DOG RESCUE does

Soul Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal welfare organization (Tax ID 45-4137227) headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, with operational facilities in Fort Lupton, Colorado. Founded in 2010/2011, the organization runs a multi-program operation: a permanent shelter and low-cost spay/neuter clinic in Fort Lupton, a thrift store in Englewood, recurring mobile veterinary clinics on Tribal Lands across the Four Corners region, and international programs in Ecuador, Colombia, American Samoa, and the Dominican Republic. Its mobile-clinic platform (FYDA, a renovated Airstream) enables service delivery to geographically remote and underserved communities where conventional veterinary infrastructure is absent.

The organization's service portfolio includes low-cost spay/neuter surgeries ($35-$200), vaccinations, and adoptions ($200-$475), with weekend Tribal Lands clinics processing 75-150 animals each and a cadence of 1-2 clinics per month. The organization reports having facilitated 15,000+ animal transports off Tribal Lands and serves three of four Navajo Nation animal control facilities. Staffing comprises 8 employees plus a network of veterinarians and vet techs, with leadership anchored by Founder/Director Shelby Davis (former ASPCA Director of Spay/Neuter Operations) following the 2018 passing of founding veterinarian Dr. Kerry Parker.

The business model is donation-led with diversified earned revenue: individual and institutional donations (primary input, including grants from Petco Love Foundation and the Banfield Foundation), adoption fees, clinic service fees, thrift store sales, and merchandise revenue via Bonfire. Pricing is small-ticket and volume-based, with no enterprise customer concentration. The combination of fixed-facility operations, mobile outreach, and international programs positions the organization as a hybrid community veterinary provider rather than a single-channel rescue operator.
